He is the one who gave me life
because of him i walk this earth
he is the one who's in my blood
because of him i know it's worth
he is the one who fought for me
so i can live in liberty
he is the one i think was right
in the name of him i feel this might
Brought up in a home ready for this generation
told to be suspicious 'bout the human life
the individual against the rest of the nation
raised by a man with freedom in his eyes
In the name of the father - i must resist
in the name of the father - retaliate
in the name of the father - i clench my fist
in the name of the father - i am
Others draw a line of fear and frustration
afraid to ask themselves 'bout the reason why
i'll always be apart from the rest of the nation
i'm raised by a man with freedom in his eyes
